We spent a few nice days in Chicago with my husband's sisters.

• We spent a day at Arlington Race Track (I'm thinking that if I get sunburned enough to see where my cross sits...that makes me a "crispy critter".

• Sunday afternoon we went to Chicago Botanical Gardens

• Monday we wandered around the Museum of Science and Industry

• Tuesday we spent at Brookfield Zoo

...

We had a very nice trip, but it is also nice to be home.
